LAMB, DavidDeath and Funeral of David LambMr. David Lamb, an aged and respected citizen of our sister town of Westernport, died at his home Friday Evening, Dec. 8, after a lingering illness of a complication of diseases, the result of several strokes of paralysis, suffered some time ago, aged about sixty years. Mr. Lam was first stricken by paralysis about three years ago while on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Harry Cole, at Fairmont, W. Va., and strange to say the second stroke likewise happened at Fairmont, under the same circumstances, about one year later. Since that time Mr. Lamb has been a great sufferer, and for the past year or so has been practically helpless. He was one of Westernport's oldest citizens, loved and respected by all who knew him, and for many years a trusted employe of the Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Besides a wife, he leaves five children, two sons and three daughters, to mourn their loss. His funeral took place from the St. James P.E. Church on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock and was very largely attended. The obsequies[sic] were under the direction of Philos Lodge, No. 91, I.O.O.F., of which the deceased was an honored member for many years, and interment was in Philos cemetery.The Evening Times, Cumberland, Maryland; Monday, December 11, 1905(Courtesy of Charles Riend/transcribed by Genie)Posted February 28, 2013
